Revisiting economics,waynad and meditating on wine and girl from kural

At mid-night  December 31 ,2015 I wrote a few lines in the FaceBook and translated one kural to remind myself that I have a duty to perform to my language and also my subject Economics.This is the first blog of the new year
And let me start by talking about love in a more symbolic way.It is not about the love in modern times but the poetic and pure love of sangam literature some 2000 years ago.
I seek the grace of the Almighty and my parents to read and write  to my heart content as that alone can keep me alive.
Coming to the translation of kural,she is a shy girl having the eye of a deer and her modesty itself is a jewel. Such being the case does she require any external ornament like gold to add more beauty to her? That is absolutely redundant.
The feminists must not mistake valluvar the author of the classic KURAL:
Only when you drink wine you shall get intoxicated. But here is a girl whose mere sight delights me and make me happy  oh is it kama?

The new year was inaugurated with a visit to the God’s own country to revisit economics and also Waynad.The estranged relationship for  long  very long priod was forgiven and  not forgotten for the good of the system.Spent quality time with great scholars and got some academic space to meditate on issues of international finance. Whenever I go to any conference I not only realize my hidden and latent energy in my subject but also the cruel fact that time is limited and I must make the best out of it.I hope I will and I should.R
